Jay County Animal Control

The Jay County Animal Control is an open door, municipal facility committed to protecting animals from conditions harmful to their well being, and to protecting the citizens of the community from stray, unvaccinated, and dangerous animals. We strive to promote a harmonious atmosphere between the animals and the people of our community.
Along with the stray animals we pick up, we take every domestic animal that comes to our door; young, old, sick, or injured. Although state and county laws require animals to be held a minimum of 5 days, we try to shelter some for months while we try to find them new homes. But more keep coming every day, and we can only house so many at a time. As a result, we must humanely euthanize those animals for which no homes can be found. We have one Animal Control Officer who covers the entire 384 square miles of Jay county.
